This invention relates to an improvement I 'inresilient seat-mounts which are particuporting each of the four sides of the seat and independent guides for I of a; seat equipped with my improveduresilientmount;

preventing the lateral 'displacementthereo I In the accompanying drawings:

' Fig. 1 is a, broken viewin front elevat on Fig. 2 is an edge view' thereof;,and

Fig. 3 is a view 'in horizontal section onthe l1ne3-3 of Fig. 1."

In carrying out my invention, as herein shown, Imount adjacent each of the .four

edges-"of the seat 5 a pair of crossed.

equalizer-bars 6 and 6*- which are pivoted together midway between their ends by a stud 7 which is-shouldered and extends into ether suitable support. Each a guide-slot 8 in a vertical bracket 9 upstanding from the supporting-surface 10 which may bethe floor of an automobile, or

e qualizer bars 6 and6" is provided at its opposite ends respectively with short links 11,

' 5 v and the other, at the opposite end, being conone of which is pivoted to a floor-bracket 12 1 nected to a seatrbracket 13 secured to the underface of the seat-structure, which is yield- 'ingl'y supported by two springs 19; By means of the parts ust descr bed,-the seat'is maintained in parallel relation with refer- .ence to the supportin .-sur:fa ce 10, regardless of the distribution 0 weight upon the seat itseli:

. a e To prevent the appreclable edgewise movement of the seat in any direction, I 'mount upon each of the opposite ends of the underface of the seat 5 a depending bracket 14 of the carrying a guide-roller 15 formed: with a deep groove 16 for the reception of the leg I 1;? of a T-shapedguide-bracket 18 upstanding from the sup orting-surface 10.. By the entry of the leg 1 of the bracket 18 into the groove 16 of the guide-roller 15, the sidewalls of the said grooveco-act with it to prevent the displacement of the seat 'from frcntto rear or viceversa, while the bases of the grooves of the respective, oppositely-located rollers co-act with the inner face of the legs 17 to revent side-wise movement in either directlon.

I claim:

1. In a resilient seat-mount, the combina-.

tion with a seat. and a support therefor; of

an'independently-or anized pair of crossed e ualizer-ba'rs locate adjacent to and paral-- le w1th each of the four edges of the said seat; means for connecting one end of each of the said equalizer-bars to the said seat and its 1 opposlte end to the said support; .a central pivot connecting the respective bars of each pair together; a vertical guide for each pivot; and means independent of the said equalizer-bars for guiding the said seat in a vertical path; whereby the said seat is prevented .from lateral displacement and each pair of equalizer-bars is restrained from end; wise movement.

' 2. In a resilient seat-mount, the coinbin'ation with a seat and a sup rt therefor; of an independently-or anizecigair of crossed equalizer-bars located adjacent to and parallel with eachv of the four edges of the said Yseat; links for connecting-one end of each 85 bar to the said seat and its opposite end to the said support; a central pivot connecting the respective bars of each pair together; a vertical. guidefor each pivot; and means independent of the said equalizer-bars for guiding thesaid seat in a vertical path;

whereby the said seat is revented from late eral dlsplacement and eac air of equalizer",

bars is restrained from en wise movement. In testimony whereof, I,have signed this specification. CHRISTIAN PALLENBERG.
